Hello Alassane, First of all, you should tell us what you actually want to achieve. You may be better of using the gdal libraries which are already part of ubuntu rather than compiling your own version.
If you want to use the version of gdal included in ubuntu install the package libgdal-dev . You can do so using your favorite package manager or using the command prompt: sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev If you do that your command will probably work without extra effort. If there is a good reason to install your own version, you can still do so, but you should be aware that you are probably installing to /usr/local instead of /usr. In that case you should adjust for the include: gcc -o test test.cpp -I /usr/local/include/gdal -lgdal adjusting the linking is slightly more work.try running ldconfig (as root so sudo ldconfig) first after the installation. If that does not work make sure that the directory /usr/local/lib is part of /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig again.
